"He (Obama) can maintain the threat of force, which incidentally is a crime under international law, that we should bear in mind that the core principle of the United Nations Charter bars the threat or use of force, threat or use of force. So all of this is criminal."

Part 2

Chomsky on 9/11

"My own view is that we should be concentrating on the first 9/11, the one in Chile, which was a much worse attack, by any dimension."

September 10, 2013 "Information Clearing House - Did
you know that a 3rd building fell on 9-11? That bill board is today over
Times Square. It was placed there through donations to a campaign called
Rethink 9/11.

In fact, that group has placed posters and signs across the world,
from Australia, to Canada, from San Francisco to right here in New York City.

So what is Rethink 9/11? Wouldn’t only a fringe group of
people would still question 9/11? Perhaps not, because today we will tell
you about new polling that shows a majority of those polled either question the
official 9/11 story or don’t believe it at all. Is that possible?

CAIRO — Egyptians on Thursday braced for the ninth weekend of protests
against the military’s ouster of the country’s president as the looming
possibility of Western airstrikes against Syria injected a new element
of volatility onto the streets.

The degree of participation and violence at the protests expected on
Friday will be a pivotal test of the effectiveness of the new
government’s crackdown on the supporters of the ousted president,
Mohamed Morsi, especially his Islamist allies in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Small protests in certain neighborhoods of Cairo, the capital, and
larger demonstrations in other Egyptian cities have continued every
night since Mr. Morsi’s ouster on July 3, despite an evening curfew, the
suspension of due process and a wave of mass shootings and arrests by
security forces that have decimated the Brotherhood. But the group’s
decapitation as an organizing force has made the continuing protest
movement harder to predict or control, potentially increasing the
chances of violence.

CAIRO — The two-month-old Egyptian government on Tuesday stepped up its
use of swift military trials to lock up Islamist supporters of the
ousted president, Mohamed Morsi,
while an administrative court banned four satellite networks considered
sympathetic to them, including an Egyptian affiliate of Al Jazeera.

Although the government has promised a prompt return to inclusive
democracy and the rule of law, the military trials and network closings
extended its use of authoritarian tactics as it widens its crackdown on
Morsi supporters and the Muslim Brotherhood.

On Tuesday, a military court in Suez sentenced a man described as a
Brotherhood member to life in prison for violence directed at the Army.
Forty-eight others were given sentences of 5 to 15 years in prison for
similar charges, and 12 were acquitted, state news media reported.
